Liam Brody, who studies anthropology, said: "It's busy and sometimes quiet loud round here, but it is usually fairly peaceful.

"Things like this can happen anywhere in the world though, it doesn't mean it's a dangerous place to live just because one thing happened.

"My mates were just surprised more than anything I think, no-one is particularly worried about it that I know, you just get on with your life."
